There wasn’t a dry eye in the house on Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday night, when a shy dad in the audience was surprised by his two young daughters.

After some encouragement, a reluctant Nick, 35, made his way to the stage, where he explained he had lost confidence in his singing, and hid his talent.

He told the judges: ‘Hopefully I’ll keep the nerves and crying away while I do this.’ 

After being given time to prepare, the dad performed a moving song dedicated to his daughters, with the performance leaving everyone in tears.

Declan Donnelly was so overcome by emotion that he needed a minute to pull himself together.

The hit ITV talent show was previously postponed due to safety concerns and the restrictions brought about by tier systems and lockdowns. 

Bosses of the show said that despite the efforts of the teams at ITV, Thames and head judge Simon’s Syco, they were forced to call plans off. 

At the time they said: ‘With our absolute priority of safeguarding the well-being and health of every person involved in the programme from judges, hosts and contestants to all of the crew and audience, the decision has been made to – unfortunately – move the record and broadcast of the 15th series of Britain’s Got Talent to 2022.

‘BGT is known for its diversity of talent with big dance groups, wonderful choirs and lavish orchestras at its heart, and it has become clear that not only is it not possible to film auditions with these types of acts in a secure way but also that they are not able to adequately rehearse and prepare safely. 

They finished: ‘Safety has to come first and, as a result, the recording of the show can’t currently go ahead as planned.’
